Finally got my hands on a 830

[hyperasus]

Got it all up and running.



Time to see what this thing can do.

 

[Know Nuttin]

don't keep us in suspense. it's driving me crazy...

what board is it on ?

 

[RangerXLT8]

Oh boy....... 2.656v, is that right?

 

[hyperasus]

Oh sorry I ment for the second CPU-Z to show the mainboard info. Just a sec and I'll fix it.

 

[hyperasus]

Just for kicks I tried bumping the FSB up to 267. Haven’t touched any voltages yet. It its Idling at 39c and I haven’t run any tests on it yet to see if it’s stable.

 

[hainer36]

is the first post right, its at 2.8 on 202 fsb? isnt it a 3ghz chip,...i confused on that

 

[kayson]

The first post is right. Its the throttling deal. At idle, the processor drops the multiplier and vcore to conserve energy and whatnot. So 200x14=2.8ghz when throttling, but under load, the multiplier goes back up to 15 (200x15=3ghz).

Edit: and get some benchmarks!

 

[hainer36]

ok, i gotcha now...see how i dont have that on mine so i didint really think of that

 

[hyperasus]

I tried to turn off Speedstep in the bios but it is still throttling
Does anyone have any idea what a safe vcore is for this cpu?

 

[Valk]

he he. i dont know what safe voltage on that sucker must be but i wonder what happens if one core in a dual core chip dies. does the whole unit fail or will it still function on a single core?
not saying iw ant you to crank it to find out ha ha. but a curious bit of information surely.

 

[hyperasus]

In the bios I set the vcore to 1.4 but CPU-Z adds the voltage of both cores. I am prime testing at the moment. Its only been going for 5 minutes and cpu temp is 58.

 

[yang88she]

wow, glad someone finally got one of these things to test out.

good luck n keep us posted

 

[ropey]

Damn!!

Lets see some benchmarks....

Bated breath!

[Sentential]

Btw, this throtteling is called EIST. It is normal. On load your CPU speed will return to the normal level.


Btw, NICE *** clocks. I didnt think it would clock nearly this well.

 

[RangerXLT8]

What kind of cooling?

 

[larva]

If these things have 4GHz in them routinely they will be very popular.

 

[Ganesh Jadu]

Btw your default volt is you volts divided by 2 which equals ~1.4volts for each core and I assume you can do 3.00volts or 1.5volts x 2=3.0volts. But you may need a hunkie power supply maybe jerryrig two 850watts? My friend has a 830, but doesn't want to post it. We using it for folding my name is BattleBoar for Team 32.

Not to say your worng the default from the factory is a max 4.2ghz on default volts. Cause my friend kinda works at Intel. And I am trying to get hired out here in California. Hint Hint because the overclock too 4.2ghz SpeedSteps to 4ghz.

Are the only options you have for SpeedStep *Automatic* and *Disabled*? I'm experiencing this problem with my P5WD2-Premium\P4 650. On my 925XE(P5AD2-E) the options for SpeedStep where *Automatic*, *Maximum*, *Minimum* and *Disabled*. I'm hoping they will resolve this with a bios update.

Yes
